ARCHITECTURAL SKETCH OF PROPOSED NEW ART CENTER FOR NEW YORK This is the sketch made by Arnold W. Brunner. president of the American Society of Architects, for the nett art center which the city plans to erect in New York. The situation is at the junction of Seventh avenue and Central Park South (Fifty-ninth street). It is proposed to close Seventh avenue for two blocks, south to Fifty-seventh street. The opera house, the center building of the group, will stand directly in the middle of the present Seventh avenue facing the park, with a ramp leading across Fifty-ninth street into the park, as shown in the sketch. The exits will be on three levels, over the ramp, on Fifty-ninth street and underground directly into the subway. One of the side buildings will house a huge city auditorium and a conservatory of music, and the other will contain an academy of fine arts and exhibition halls for painting and sculpture. This sketch is reproduced from the cover of the menu at the dinner which Chamberlain Berolzheimer gave at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, at which details of the plans and its possibilities for early fulfillment were first revealed. NEW YORK’S NEW MUSIC AND ART CENTER DISCUSSED IN DETAIL AT BEROLZHEIMER DINNER (Continued from page S) lished an enviable reputation for himself and his excellent band. From the outset, he endeavored to give to New Yorkers a series of concerts of an interesting and educational nature, in which he succeeded admirably. His programs contained many selections never before attempted by any other band. This and the manner of presentation made Mr. Goldman an unusually popular conductor. Those who attended these concerts from the very beginning, found so much pleasure there, that they urged their friends to go and in a comparatively short time the audiences became so large that thousands of additional chairs were purchased to accommodate all anxious to attend. The program for the opening concert on June 12 comprised : 1. March Solennelle ................................Tschaikowsky 2. Overture, “Ruy Bias” .............................Mendelssohn 3. (a) Aire from “Rinaldo” ...............................Handel (b) Menuet from “Samson” .........................Handel 4. Tone Poem, “Finlandia” ............................ Sibelius 5. Procession of the Knights of the Holy Grail ...........Wagner 6. Inflammatus from “Stabat Mater” .................... Rossini Ernest S. Williams, Cornetist. 7. Waltz, “New Vienna” ..................................Strauss 8. Southern Rhapsody .................................... Hosmer In addition the audience demanded encores to which Mr. Goldman graciously consented giving (by special request) his new march “The Chimes of Liberty,” which proved to be a composition of a stirring nature. Its presentation was so enthusiastically applauded that the composer-conductor found it necessary to repeat it. The other encores were his “Sagamore March” and “A Bit of Synpopation,” both of which have become very popular. An audience of about 10,000 attended. June 14. Edwin Franko Goldman and his excellent band drew another large audience for the second concert of the fifth season on June 14, on the green of Columbia University. The program, which was unusually well rendered, comprised: “Swedish Coronation March” (Svendsen), overture to “Mignon” (Thomas), “Albumleaf” (Tschaikowsky), “Peer Gynt” suite (Grieg), introduction to. act III and Bridal Chorus from “Lohengrin” (Wagner), aria from “La Gioconda” (Ponchielli), “Girls of Baden” new, sung by Lotta Madden, soprano, and introduction to Act III and Bridal Chorus, from “Lohengrin,” Wagner. The program was enjoyed by an unusually large and interested audience. Two new compositions by Edwin Franko Goldman— march, “The Chimes of Liberty” and “In the Springtime” —were heard. The first, rendered by the band, is a spirited and effective number which was applauded so enthusiastically that Mr. Goldman was obliged to repeat it. In this work, the refrain was sung by 400 students from the Julia Richman High School. Lotta Madden, soprano, sang Mr. Goldman’s “In the Springtime,” which, like the composition mentioned above, was demanded again. In addition she gave “Open Thy Blue Eyes,” Massenet, and "Love’s in My Heart,” Woodman. Her highly finished and artistic singing won the admiration of all. At the conclusion of her vocal numbers Mayor Hylan presented the singer with a huge bouquet of American Beauty roses. Ernest S. Williams, cornet soloist, played “A Soldier’s Dream,'’ and was also obliged to give an added number. Aside from the ovation given Mr. Goldman, the two soloists, Lotta Madden and E. S. Williams, received much sincere applause. Goldman Opens Columbia Green Concerts The Goldman Band, Edwin Franko Goldman, conductor, opened the fifth season of summer concerts at Columbia University on Monday evening, June 12. Long before the gates were opened large numbers of music lovers hovered around the grounds anxious for admission. Their judgment was well founded, for the crowds became so large that all could not be accommodated. During the past four seasons, Mr. Goldman has estab- an encore which was Massenet’s “Open Thy Blue Eyes.” Corporation Counsel John P. O’Brien then delivered rather a long speech in which he spoke particularly of the human side of the Hylan administration, praising it for what it had done for the advancement of the cultural interests of the masses and paying a special and deserved tribute to Chamberlain Berolzheimer as particular representative of culture in the city cabinet. The final speaker was Mayor Hylan himself, who read a short speech from manuscript in which he bespoke the public suport for the project, told of the value it had for the city and promised that there should be absolutely no playing of politics in the scheme. The guests left at eleven o’clock, after voicing their thanks to the host for a most delightful evening.
